Daryl Frank "Buster" Skrine Jr.[1] (/ˈskrn/ SKREEN;[2] born April 26, 1989) is an American former professional football cornerback who played in the National Football League (NFL) for 11 seasons. He was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round of the 2011 NFL draft. He played college football for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

Skrine played for the Browns for four seasons, and was a starter during his final two seasons with the team. He then signed with the New York Jets in 2015, where he started 48 games over the next four seasons. He then spent two seasons with the Chicago Bears, primarily as a reserve player. He began the 2021 season with the San Francisco 49ers, but only played in one game before being released. He signed with the Tennessee Titans later in the season, where he started in three of the team's final six games of the regular season and played in his only playoff game. Despite re-signing with the Titans in 2022, he retired later that offseason.

Skrine was arrested on August 9, 2023 in Canada for bank fraud-related charges.[3]
